You can try using a WMI sensor targeting the Win32_WindowsProductActivation class.
The ActivationRequired property will tell you if activation is required.
If 1 (one), system activation is pending for the system. The system must be activated within the number of days indicated by the RemainingGracePeriod property. If 0 (zero), activation is not required during a specific time period.
